pepsi tastes like malted battery acid. down here in the south if they don't have coke they'll tell you and give you the opportunity to change. up in yankeeland, they just give you that craptastic pepsi, in my experience.

I lived in Michigan for 23 years and it was no different there than it is in Atlanta.

You are dining at a restaurant and you ask for a Coke. Half the time the waitress will ask; "is Pepsi OK?". Is this not a redundant question??

I mean how many people out there ask for a Coke, hear they only have Pepsi...cringe and order something else. Are people really that anal over these two cola brands? 😛

I am one of those people :/

If they do not have pepsi-cola, i order something else. Usually my fall back is an Arnold Palmer. If they don't know what that is, I just say tap water.

My boss hates Pepsi. For some reason, no matter where we order lunch from, they always seem to be out of Coke when he orders. I'll send him a communicator saying that he's getting Pepsi and you can hear him when he reads it.

it's all the same to me. whenever i go to those places with free refils, i just mix all of the sodas. tastes the same to me.

i do, i can't stand coke (except for cherry coke) so if they don't have any pepsi products at all i order a sprite or root beer instead.
 
I don't care either way. If I'm in the mood for soda either one is fine with me.

If I have a choice I will buy Coke but I almost never drink soda...literally I'll have like 2 sodas a month at the most.
 
I would prefer Pepsi 1000 times more than Coke because it is sweeter.

Having said that, If the restaurant only has one or the other, I'll get whatever they do have.
